Single-level layout pairs a vaulted living room with an open dining area and office. The master suite sits opposite a second bedroom, with a covered porch entry and generous outdoor living off the back.
Concrete Fireplace Surround Anchors a Living Room Built Around Natural Wood
Floor-to-ceiling concrete tile draws the eye straight to the fireplace, flanked by warm oak built-ins. Light blue chairs and a square wood coffee table keep the seating area grounded.
Farmhouse Kitchen Island with an X-Brace End Panel Worth Copying
The island’s end panel with its cross-brace detailing is the detail that pulls the whole kitchen together. Black pendant cages, a matte black faucet positioned slightly left of center, and warm oak cabinetry keep the palette grounded. Gray subway tile runs the full backsplash. Bar stools in matching black metal slide right under the overhang.
Warm Wood Dining Room Where a Sliding Barn Door Steals the Show
That barn door isn’t decorative — it’s load-bearing for the whole room’s personality.
Bleached oak chairs with X-back details sit around a farmhouse table that’s just rough enough to feel lived-in. Three lantern pendants hang at staggered heights over the table. Behind it, a sideboard holds loose dried grasses and white blooms that keep things casual. Natural light cuts hard across the floor from black-framed windows.
Sliding Barn Door Between Dining and Home Office Does the Heavy Lifting
Natural oak panels on the barn door pick up the same grain as the dining table below it. Through the opening, a blueprint poster in cobalt blue gives the office a graphic punch. Hardware stays dark and minimal.
Quick Fix: Barn doors don’t muffle sound the way a hinged door does, so if you’re using the adjoining room as a home office during calls, consider adding a rubber door sweep along the bottom edge to reduce noise bleed between spaces.
Vaulted Bedroom Where Exposed Beams and Gallery Walls Pull Equal Weight
Shiplap ceiling panels painted white keep the vaulted volume feeling light rather than cavernous. One exposed wood beam cuts across at the ridge, grounding the space without overwhelming it. Gray quilted bedding and tonal throw pillows do most of the work below, while a five-piece gallery wall anchors the headboard wall with black-and-white prints.
Designer’s Secret: Low-profile platform beds look sharp but can make hotel-style layering feel flat without the right pillow arrangement. Try stacking a lumbar pillow in front of your sleeping pillows rather than leaning everything against the headboard. It adds visual height without adding bulk to the bed frame itself.
Walk-Through Shower Into a Walk-In Closet Is the Layout Upgrade Worth Asking For
Black matte fixtures on a handheld slide bar give the white subway tile shower a sharp focal point. Beyond the glass door, a wood closet system with built-in drawers keeps the transition from bathing to dressing compact and logical.

Walk-In Closet with Built-In Laundry Access Is the Practical Luxury Worth Planning For
Light wood cabinetry runs floor to ceiling with open shelving, hanging rods, and deep drawers fitted with black bin pulls. Folded sweaters and a red shoebox show real use. Through the pocket door, a washer-dryer sits just steps away.
Try This: Locating laundry inside or directly adjacent to the walk-in closet cuts the number of trips across the house on wash day. If you’re planning this layout, make sure the pocket door cavity has enough wall depth so it doesn’t eat into shelf space on either side.
Pin It
Exterior photo shows a white board-and-batten farmhouse with a metal roof and double garage. The floor plan below reveals a two-bedroom, single-story layout with vaulted living space and a covered outdoor living area.
Material Matters: Board-and-batten siding holds paint longer than traditional horizontal lap siding because water runs off the vertical joints rather than pooling along edges. If you’re drawn to the all-white exterior look, opt for a paint formulated for hardboard or engineered wood rather than standard exterior latex, since the expansion and contraction rates differ and cheaper paint will crack at the battens first.
